    "supporting_data": "The iShares Core DAX UCITS ETF (DE) is a physically replicated ETF that aims to track the DAX index by directly holding the underlying equities. The KIID and factsheet confirm that the fund uses physical replication with at least 95% of assets matching the index. While the KIID mentions that derivatives may be used for efficient portfolio management (EPM), this is a standard practice for tracking error minimization and does not introduce complexity. The fund has no leverage, inverse exposure, or capital protection features. The risk profile is straightforward, with risks primarily related to equity market exposure and counterparty risk from standard fund operations. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which imposes additional investor protection requirements. The absence of synthetic replication, leverage, or complex underlying assets supports the non-complex classification.",
    "confidence": 95,
    "counter_argument": "Some might argue that the mention of derivatives in the KIID could indicate complexity. However, the use of derivatives for EPM is explicitly permitted under MiFID II without triggering complex status, provided it is not a core part of the investment strategy. The fund's physical replication and straightforward equity exposure outweigh this consideration.",
    "risk_level": "The fund is rated as a 6 on the risk scale, primarily due to its concentrated exposure to German equities. However, this risk level is typical for single-country equity ETFs and does not indicate structural complexity."
